  1. RRT New Grad

    I would suggest giving Exceclsior a go. I'm an RRT that was laid off in December and I'm having a heck of a time finding work. With the way my studying is going, I am hoping to be a licensed RN by this time next year, where (hopefully) my job opport...
  2. Question about preceptorships

    So, I am currently an RRT in nursing school to get my RN. I was laid off in December from the hospital I worked at, and have been having a rough time finding work since. I'd really LOVE to get into hyperbaric wound care (most of the wound care center...
  3. Getting close to FCCA & CPNE

    I am nearing the CPNE as well. I have only the 3 lifespan classes to pass, one of which I am studying for now. I am getting nervous as well, but I know that I can do this. It's just a matter of being prepared, which there is plenty of time to do sinc...
  4. Ineffective Airway Clearence

    I'm inclined to want to choose "A". The answer "green thick mucus" doesn't mean that they have a strong cough necessarily. Though they're obviously getting something up (because you know what it looks like), that doesn't mean they're not still at ris...
  5. Just finished the FCCA finals!

    Congrats! I am anxious to get there myself! Do you know how often the FCCA's are scheduled? I'm just trying to figure out a rough guideline of whether or not I can be done with all the classes by the end of the year or not. Are they just held every o...
  6. Nursing Exams Now Require Advisor Approval

    Thanks for posting this! I recently spent half a week trying to register for a class before I broke down and emailed the school. An adviser quickly ok'd me to take the exam I was ready to take, but what a headache. I thought I was going crazy, or tha...
  7. Need help. Health and Saftey exam this week.

    I was so nervous for this test, but it wasn't bad at all! I passed with an "A". It took me a little over an hour to take the test (including going through each question twice). Most of the questions seemed like basic common sense. There were 3 or...
  8. Looking into Excelsior

    The only clinical portion of the program is the 2 day weekend for your skills checkoffs. It's like a final for clinical skills. You are expected to learn the clinical component of the courses on your own time. There is no preceptorship or mentoring a...
  9. Passed Transitions!!!!!!! yay!!!!!

    I found Health Safety to be a lot more interesting than the Transitions. I just passed it last week. I think if you read each assigned chapter carefully you shouldn't have any problems. Most of the material is pretty straight forward. Take your time...
  10. Nursing Fund. text book

    Yeah, I'm using an older edition as well and I don't think it's a problem. You will need the book for most, if not all, of the courses. Some of the chapters are a little bit off. For example, the syllabus might tell you to read Chp 8 (Nutrition), but...
  11. Passed Health Differences!!!

    Congrats on passing!! It's a great feeling, isn't it? You can do this! I found Transitions to be the hardest test so far. I passed with a C. The material is just so dry and boring (to me). I found it hard to focus when I was trying to read or study....
  12. I passed Health Safety today!!

    I was so nervous for this test, but it wasn't bad at all! I passed with an "A". It took me a little over an hour to take the test (including going through each question twice). Most of the questions seemed like basic common sense. There were 3 or 4...
